Our refreshed strategy builds on our values as a foundation of success to date

Griffith Business School is differentiated by our strong emphasis on values and incorporates world-leading expertise in business, government and international relations. Within the School there is great enthusiasm as we embark on refreshing our strategy for 2025: Better business, brighter futures. This reimagined plan builds on our values as a foundation of success to date. Throughout it we will maintain our momentum towards being a leading provider of innovative and socially responsible business and government education, scholarship and practice in Australia and the Asia– Pacific region.

In refreshing our strategy, we engaged colleagues through in-person discussion forums, workshops, and online platforms to gather valuable feedback. We also sought guidance from industry partners via our Strategic Advisory Board. These insights have allowed us to refine our purpose, vision, mission, and values, while re-aligning our priorities and initiatives to meet
he challenges of an increasingly dynamic and complex world.
